"Is it not circular for you to assume that your own feelings represent "some Universal Ultimacy" and then use that to prove that no "Universal Ultimacy" exists"

No. Nor was that what I was responding to. My feelings DO NOT represent some Universal Ultimacy.

"Where do these supposed "rights" come from"

From the natural right to life that all civilized people presume as a basis for responsibility and accountability, and for interacting with one another to a common goal of survival.

"which you refused to answer"

I thought my answer was more than clear, but perhaps your comprehension skills are somewhat wanting. In any event--a "refusal" is quite different than an omission. Again, please do not intentionally obfuscate.

I have a right to judge such things, and I am telling you that rape, murder, genocide, and infanticide are not an appropriate response to a maladjusted worship of Deity. Clear enough?

If one thus presumes the existence of a God whose judgement is substandard to civilized human values, then one admits that love and mercy have no criteria to be qualified by civilized standards--or one admits that ones idea of God is beastly and unworthy of any human concept of Universal Ultimacy.

Such a God would have no right to judge a loving or merciful response to a maladjusted worship of Deity because such a God would be incapable of the concepts as you and I know and discuss them. Our judgement views such a God as either fanciful--or as a beast who has forfeited all rights to judge or to act--and awaits only capture and imprisonment for crimes against humanity.
